The Co/N-doped carbon material, as an important electrocatalytic material, has been attracted intense interest in ORR and Zn-air battery. Here, we report an efficient Co@N-doped carbon catalyst (Co@N-C-1) obtained by pyrolysis of ZIF precursor with 2-aminobenzimidazole. The introduction of 2-aminobenzimidazole results in the formation of hierarchical meso/microporous structure of the as-prepared Co@N-C-1, effectively avoiding the aggregation of Co nanoparticles during pyrolysis and the higher N content, which contributes to enhance the ORR electrocatalytic activities. The obtained Co@N-C-1 exhibits remarkable ORR performance with a half-wave potential of 0.938 V vs RHE in alk. media. As the air catalyst of zinc-air batteries, Co@N-C-1 displays 1.439 V of open-circuit voltage and 1413.3 Wh·kg-1 of energy d. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as 1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-amine(cas: 934-32-7Category: imidazoles-derivatives)
1H-Benzo[d]imidazol-2-amine(cas: 934-32-7) can be used in the hydrolysis of a choline carbonate. It was also used in the synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles.Category: imidazoles-derivatives
